Now Showing in 3-D

Q:

This challange requires you to use only the letters of the alphabet that can be rotated 180 degrees on the x, y or z axis without changing.  For example, you can rotate B toward you from top to bottom (x-axis), flip A from left to right (y-axis) and spin X around 180 degrees (z-axis).  X actually works on all 3 axes. 

I used the Arial font which is common in most word processors.  You can use upper or lower case letters and repeat them as needed.

And now the challenge:  Name the only state with its respective capital city that can be spelled using only the letters in this new alphabet.



Hint:

Usually I can't be bought, but for a buck I'd give you a terrific hint.

A:

The new alphabet gives the roman numerals D, I and X  yielding 509
